For 30 years Methodist Richardson Cancer Center has provided comprehensive and compassionate care close to home and to community members like Kathy Rogers. Her self-screening and access to leading 3D Mammography technology caught her cancer early and she is thriving as a result.
Be A Part of the Crucial First Steps of Cancer Screening
Cancers like breast, colorectal, lung, and skin are relatively easy to screen for but are often put aside for fear of the costs involved. When we can make cancer screenings easily accessible for our patients, we increase the chance for a healthy future.
We invite you to give in honor of a loved one, to support a friend, and to help reduce the devastating effects of undetected cancers.
Methodist Richardson Medical Center Foundation is an organization based on the spirit of compassion and care and is dedicated to ensuring that excellence continues at Methodist Richardson Medical Center.

The Foundation staff and volunteers are dedicated to providing close-to-home services to our community.
We are honored to steward a $5,000 match challenge by Clay and Suzy Harrison.
The Harrisons have made this gift in memory of both Clay’s parents and Suzy’s mother. To receive the full match, we need to raise its equivalent.
We invite you to support this effort in celebration of a loved one’s life or the memory of a special relationship.
Methodist Richardson Medical Center Foundation's mission is to raise, manage, and distribute funds to assist Methodist Richardson Medical Center in acquiring state-of the-art technology, attracting excellent medical staff, and supporting vital hospital programs.
